ciently to allow the rise in the level, and I have found that a very desirable construction is vone of rectangular form. As there are no valves, itwill be seen that the oil may find its level byilowing in one direction or the other, and I have alsodiscovered that this .prevents the clogging of the pipes, ,which has hereto# fore been a source ofyery great annoyance where the flow of the oil was one way only, as the impurities in the oilwo'uld clog about the valves. v

The overflow -pipe in the oil chamber is shown at d', and, as shown, I arrangethis centrally of the oil-chamber, so that inanyaccidental tilting of the stoveI the overflow will not be aiected and will only operate when the reservoir for any reason floods 'the oilcha-mber. s t 'Itwill be observed in connection with the overflow that this must hold such a relation lto the holder that it will be below the top thereof when the holder is at its highest point in relation to Vtheove'riow, Ior t is intended that the overflow shall operate 'when abnormal conditionsexist so' as to prevent the overilow at the burner when the burner is supposed to beout of action. by the l leaking o fthe reservoir into the oilchamber or by unduly raising the level of the oil in this chamber and with the overflow positioned relatively.V to the location of the burner when out of action will prevent any such abnormal condition from overflowing the burner.

What I claim is- 1. In an oil-stove, a reservoir-'having aV 'maintained oil-level and two or more burners, said burners bein gverti'cally adjustable independently,. substantially as described.

2. In an oilstove, a .reservoir having a' maintained oil-level, a vertically-adjustable burner, a rackasecured to the burner a seg- .ment of a gear for operating said rack and a This might occur.

lever extendin from said segment, substantially as descri ed. 1

3. `In an oil-stove, a reservoir' having ay maintained oi1-lev`el,fa vertically-adjustable burner, means for operating the same including a lever,l said lever moving in unison with the burner and serving also to indicate the relative position of the burner tothe oil-level,

substantially 'as described.

4. In an oil-stove having a vertically-mov able burner, meansA fonsupporting and operv ating said burner comprising a pipe D, aplate M, a bracket, said parts being clamped to said. l

pipe, a hub supported by an extension ofthe brackety and the plate M having cone-like bearings, said hub having a connection with the burner and an operating device connected with the`l1 ub.

6. In an oil-stove, two orv more burners vertically movable independently', a reservoir',

an oil-chamber supplied automatically vfrom cil-'chamber being of such-area as to receive 'the oil drained out of the burner inthe ele vationthereof without materially raising the v the reservoir, afree uninterrupted oilpassage between the oil-chamber and the burners,l said oil-level 'and vthereby alIec'ingth-e burners-inV 8. In an oilestove,'anoil supply having a maintained level, a burner having an oil-V holder and -means for varying the relation vertically between the oil -level' and holder and an overflow located below the top'of the holder when the holder is at its highest point in relation to the overflow,V substantially asdescribed. y 4
